Not only did the gun grab cost excessively more than they claimed... they have effectively destroyed a multi-billion $ industry in Canada...

All for what? Oh right... Quebec Votes.

Don't forget to thank the people in this sub who still defend voting Liberal.

You can vote for a party and not agree with everything they do. I doubt there are many voters for any party that 100% agree with every aspect of their governance. Guns owners are a large group of people who will prioritize gun ownership at the ballot box differently. I’ve voted for both main parties federally throughout my life and I’d be surprised if I was ever happy with 60% of what they were doing.

Right? This sub clearly is loaded with people who are just single issue voters. 

I don't like that. I have been put in a position where I have to trade my ownership of guns for healthcare but guess what? That's the situation. And you know what else? When are the PCS going to start taking accountability for not running a candidate that has not been total dog shit. 

Edit: no one gets this was a proverbial situation.

Healthcare’s a provincial responsibility, but sure 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'd imagine there aren't a TON of people voting one way local and the other federal

Probably not, but it doesn’t change the fact those two things don’t overlap while voting in a federal election. He wasn’t choosing his guns vs his healthcare in last Aprils vote

It was an easy target example chosen so that most people could understand because nuance seems completely lost in this conversation these days. 

I was comfortable not voting for Pierre because his entire platform was I'm not going to do what the Liberals did which gives an entirely new collection of options to fuck up.

Personally, as far as I am concerned, the fact that he is still in the party is an indictment of the fact that the conservatives are not as serious political party anymore cuz I wanted a reason to not vote for the Liberals but continually getting absolutely ridiculous options isn't going to cut it
